After Megyn Kelly Fired, Should Joy Behar of ‘The View’ Be Fired for Wearing Blackface?

This morning, it was confirmed that Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host, was fired from her new NBC morning show after she defended blackface as a Halloween costume. In today’s political and racial climate, the left-wing backlash against Kelly was predictably swift. But, as usual, the outrage doesn’t extend to the left’s political allies. Uncovered video from a past episode of the hyper-liberal show “The View” revealed Joy Behar altering her skin color and wearing blackface to dress as an African-American for Halloween.

Megyn Kelly’s career implodes after “blackface” comments

First, the background. Earlier this week, Kelly, in an extemporaneous monologue, defended the use of notorious “blackface” makeup when used for a Halloween costume. Take a look at her comments, which are clearly discomfiting to her fellow host and guests:

No, she isn’t. Behar deliberately changed her skin color to appear as a “beautiful African woman.” Raven-Symoné asked what she used to accomplish the effect, with Behar replying that she used darker make up. That didn’t convince Raven-Symoné either.

I’m not surprised people have voted overwhelmingly supporting Kelly’s firing.
What was she thinking?
Is it possible she doesn’t realize that most people at least my age identify black face with making a cruel joke of victimized blacks during slavery?
Black face was a bunch of white people pretending to be stupid, lazy black people.
In a society that deprived blacks of education up to Civil Rights with exception for instance Stonewall Jackson taught black children to read and write in his Bible classes in violation of commonwealth law. And then mock them for being illiterate? “Why did the chicken cross the road Mr/ Interlocutor”. Sadly through bad comedy institutionalizing the notion blacks should be mocked for being powerless to avoid exploitation.
The idea that you would develop cultural entertainment an institution that made fun of the ignorance and weakness of the class of people you subjugate and deprived human rights is a known bad thing since the 1960s.
What was Kelly thinking?

It was a “skit” and not someone made up as black, making fun of or denigrating blacks in any way. If I am going to a costume party made up to represent Diana Ross, I will definitely be wearing blackface. It has nothing to do with insulting the blacks.

…she might have been thinking that it’s about time most people got over their ‘hurt feelings’ and grew up…
…she might have been thinking that since at least 1964, black people have had more ‘privileges’ and ‘affirmative actions’ than most white people could even dream about having…
…she might have been thinking that there were ‘black-face’ artists who used ‘black-face’ to SUPPORT the black community…’The Black and White Minstrel Show’ comes to mind…Al Jolson as well…
…she might have been thinking that since just about every black actor/activist/politician/rapper insults and belittles and discriminates against white people every day of the week, perhaps they could handle some innocent fun as well…
….I haven’t watched TV for 8-9 years, but even then I remember just about every show that had black actors was just an excuse to bash white people…she might have been thinking that…
But I doubt it…she was probably just trying to have fun and probably thought the black community could care less what she did (which is the way my black friends see it) unfortunately, for people such as yourself, the perpetuate-rs of racial victimology, humor and fun has to be parsed and screened and filtered through your murky, immature and totally offensive, color corrector.

…that she’s been fired? who cares…she blotted her copybook a long time ago…

You have apparently mistaken me for someone that gives a flying rat’s ass regarding this (((Big Media))) nonsense.
I would, however, like to take this opportunity to demand hanging by the neck until dead for the FAUX buttmonkey that hired Lefty Slidemouth Tarlov.
Under what rock did they find that Khazar trashcan…the one next to Lefty Harf’s ?

What is happening to this once great country. all those who ascribe to political correctness should be KICKED out of the country. One of our GREATEST entertainers used black face and there was absolutely no Racist intended it was PURE GREAT ENTERTAINMENT. I hope some of our great Black Entertainers team up with some great white entertainers and do a Great minstrel Show. It is and was a as AMERICAN as APPLE PIE.

In the land of OZ, where most of these absurd leftist fools live, anything and everything angers them. The intelligent people have abdicated the narrative and discourse thus allowing the unintelligent ignoramuses to set the agenda in the land of the free and of the brave. Although not so free and definitely not so brave anymore. None of this will be changed, and in fact will get much worse, if we don’t stand up and call out these loony tunes. One good thing is that NBC will be paying through the nose for breaking Kelly’s multi million dollar contract. The is no lawful way that a contract can be broken for frivolous reasons. Kelly can now retire wealthy, write books, and make speeches if she wishes. I hope that the stockholders for NBC are in approval with this. I see a CEO removal shortly.

Don’t feel too sorry for the network yet. I’m sure the contract included a clause that allowed for termination for conduct that the network felt was not in line with their standards, which her conduct would (arguably) fall under. I read that Megyn had lawyered up herself, so she is preparing to fight. Guess we’ll see how it plays out.

I would normally be sympathetic to someone in Megan’s place. She didn’t do anything wrong. She doesn’t consider blackface for Halloween off limits. I suppose we couldn’t go as Black Panther or The Rock (mixed race) and that African Americans couldn’t go as Superman (not only white but another species presumably) or Batman, a rich white guy. No, this is idiocy, a lynch mob who are trying to suppress free speech and with it free thought. That’s a fact. However, Megan was disgraceful during the presidential debates. She set out to nail and embarrass Donald Trump. He answered her questions and she aggressively pressed on. It was obvious to all that she was too good for Fox in her mind. She was courting the MSM and she got what she wanted, an incredibly lucrative deal at NBC. Those who live by the sword will perish by the sword. Of course, perishing isn’t so painful when you have $69 million to fall back on. She doesn’t even have to play Powerball or MegaMillions to be a made woman. Goodbye Megan. You’re done.
